Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time 3D

[Adam Stone]

I must admit the ghosting is something Ive had a little battle with - as has already been mentioned, it can be very annoying and it makes the motion controls completely useless in 3D, which is a huge shame. Having said that, when it works, and if played carefully, it can work often, it does look absolutely amazing and adds an incredible sense of depth to an already beautiful world. It's just a damn shame to get it right means having to keep very still!

I now tend to play with the 3D on just a tad, just enough to add a pleasing layer of depth to the world and so my movements dont cause shadowing.

Also, I must admit that, while playing with the 3D effect on zero, I love the motion controls. Very swift, very smooth and responsive - just a shame they cant really be used effectively with 3D.

The worst ghosting is during the cutscenes in the Temple of Sages. no matter how you hold the system you can see 2 of everything, I'm not sure why its the case... maybe its done on purpose becuase youre in a spiritual place or somthing, I dont know, but i find myself turning the 3d off everytime I go back there becuase it makes my eyes feel like they are rolling into the bakc of my skull.

Got my preorder box today, does anyone know if the poster is inside the box or not?
Doesn't seem to be much of a point to unseal it just to check xD

Love this game so far, i owned the original cartridge but never really got into it (have never really been a fan of the Zelda series).

The section with

Dark Link

was really visually impressive i thought.

Oh never thought of not opening the pre order box. I haven't done so yet and maybe I won't then. Collectors item innit.

Yeah mine turned up today too, also no sign of the poster but a gentle shake of the box reveals a noise that could easily be it shifting around inside!!

As for the game itself, lovely!! Just as fresh as it was all those years ago, seems a little more familiar than I thought it would've been though which I guess just goes to show how much of a mark it made upon me first time around .

Anybody else in the water temple gggrrr LOL

If I remember correctly, it's up next for me. The

Temple was surprisingly easy. A fairly straightforward journey and easy boss. I found the previous temple much more difficult.

The more I play, the more I find myself hoping they give us Majora's Mask too. Yes, I shouldn't really be encouraging remakes over new games but they did such a good job with this one and my memory of MM is so patchy that I'd love to experience it again.

This has finally turned up from Play.com................with no bonus pre-order 3DS slip case. Which was the whole reason i ordered with them in the first place. Don't usually order stuff with them, how does getting the bonus pre-order stuff work? Do i need to ring them up and find out where my free case is, or is it some kind of first come first served free for all. If its the latter its totally ****, as they should take the offer down as soon as they've run out.

The amount of people having trouble getting their pre order bonuses for this is crazy.

I could understand if the situation was happening at one store who had just messed up, but the fact that every store seems to not have enough stock means that its not thjem and its Nintendo, who should really have known better.

And then on top of that theres the whole soundtrack debacle. I guess its a good job the game is so amazing.

Forgot to mention that Child of Eden has also turned up from Play.com, along with the free pre-order T-shirt. Has anybody who ordered OOT with Play got the free 3DS slip case? Looking around the net nobody seems to have got one.

I hate getting the train to work, but this game is so good I was actually looking forward to it this morning. Special mention for the sound. I think it sounds wonderful and the speakers are ace when navigating through the lost woods, a lot better than when using headphones.

Glad you mentioned the sound through the speakers. It really is fab. Can't believe that kind of deep rich sound is coming from a handheld.

I just cant get enough of this game. I spend a lot of my working days on telecalls. I keep sneaking in 10 minute sessions on OOT during ones I don't have to provide much input to. Today I was deep in the forest temple when someone asked me a question, had to BS saying sorry can you repeat question as I was reading an urgent email.

Think I may delay buying Resi Mercs for couple of weeks cos I can't see it dislodging this from my 3DS for a fair while

I'd like to echo those comments. I went back and tried the original and I think in the 3DS version the Lost Woods music is slightly louder than the original, which helps when you try and listen for Saria's song to find your way through the woods. It sounds brilliant through the headphones, Navi doesn't seem as annoying either I think they have scaled back her 'Listen!' which is a big bonus.

I hope after the sales success of this the same team (Grezzia? can't remember their name) are working on Majora's Mask.

In an odd way, it's kind of fitting that there would be problems surrounding the 3DS version since there were issues with the UK release of the N64 original, too. But, er, I guess that's no comfort to those affected.

I really don't want to buy a 3DS for one game, even if it is a new version of my favourite game ever, but reading so much positivity everywhere is making it very tough. It's wonderful to see so many people either remembering or finding out for the first time how special it is, though.
